This amazing event is held every year in Angouleme and this year should be pretty special as it’s the 70th Anniversary.

An absolute must for classic car racing enthusiasts – the streets in the centre of Angouleme are closed to normal traffic for the racing and the public can get up close and personal with all the action.   Find yourself a perfect viewing spot in one of the many cafe’s, bars and restaurants that stay open all hours especially for this brilliant weekend.

It is being staged over the weekend of Friday 18th September till Sunday 20th September – see the official website for more information.

La Treille gites are just 45 minutes drive from Angouleme.  We still have all 3 of our gites available for these dates so if you are looking for a great getaway, both relaxing and with plenty of action check out our web site and contact us as soon as possible to secure your accommodation
